I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at CIBC (London, England) in Jan 2022
Interview
Applied and did not hear back for 30+ days. Received a phone call from HR about arranging a first stage interview. That went well and asked basic questions like why CIBC and why this role. Thought that went well.
Had second stage interview with two MD. Was told just to prepare more about the sector. Felt the answers were quite technical (especially for an entry-level role) but answered to best of my ability.
Did not hear back for 2+ weeks even though they said it will be 1-2 weeks. I had to email for an update to be told I did not pass the stage. They offered no feedback and were very unprofessional at the end. Quite disappointed about the whole recruitment process.
Hirevue, classic question (tell me about yourself, why cibc, why investment banking, tell me about a time you were part of a team). Followed by competency and motivational questions. Overall a fairly standard process,
I applied through university. I interviewed at CIBC (Toronto, ON) in Feb 2026
Interview
Very reasonable and seamless. Interviewers were great, on time and asked all the right questions.
Explained all salary and benefits questions and kept me in the loop. Great job team!
